Built for storage density

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd is a 2U rack server that fits twelve 3.5-inch drives in a two-socket platform. Dual Xeon Silver 4110 processors and 256GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory give it the compute headroom for software-defined storage, virtual desktop infrastructure or service-provider workloads.

When to step up from smaller chassis

A 1U box with eight bays or a tower with limited expansion forces a choice between capacity and redundancy. The twelve-bay layout removes that trade-off, and the PERC H730P controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 so you can match protection level to each dataset without adding external enclosures.

Rack-ready with integrated management

Redundant 750W platinum supplies, ready rails and a front bezel ship installed, so the server drops straight into a standard rack. The X520/I350 daughter card provides two 1GbE and two 10Gb SFP+ ports for storage and management traffic, while iDRAC9 Enterprise gives full out-of-band control over KVM, power and firmware without extra licensing.

Questions about this item

How many 3.5-inch drive bays does the 2U chassis provide for the installed 6 TB drives?

The chassis has 12 front-accessible 3.5-inch bays, which are fully populated with the twelve 6 TB SATA hard drives listed.

What is the correct order for seating the two Xeon Silver 4110 processors into the LGA 3647 sockets?

Install the first processor into CPU socket 1, then install the second processor into CPU socket 2; the system will not POST if only socket 2 is populated.

When should the PERC H730P controller's 2 GB cache battery be replaced?

The battery typically lasts several years; iDRAC 9 Enterprise will log a warning when the battery charge drops below the threshold, indicating it is time to order a replacement.
